SmartLipo is a minimally invasive treatment employing ultrasonic energy to break up and liquefy unwanted fat tissue before suctioning it out. It is an excellent alternative to traditional liposuction and other invasive body sculpting surgeries.
You won’t start noticing your results until about a week later, and will continue to see the benefits developing for three to six months. While there are limits to how much fat Dr. Cambeiro can safely remove, he will help you understand a realistic outcome based on your body type and other considerations. The procedure is highly tolerable, with most patients noting they barely felt anything during treatment. Because SmartLipo causes minimal tissue trauma, you can expect a briefer downtime, too.
Common Concerns
You can expect light bruising and swelling. We will apply cold packs to help minimize swelling and any post-procedure discomfort. Dr. Cambeiro will prescribe medication for pain, though you may choose to use an over-the-counter alternative. Ask him about a follow-up plan to learn when to return for a checkup.
You’ll likely notice some bodily changes. For example, following fat reduction, you may realize you need skin tightened in the treatment area. The good news is Dr. Cambeiro can use SmartLipo and a non-surgical skin tightening treatment to smooth these areas for optimal results.
What If You Gain Weight Afterward?
SmartLipo is an excellent body contouring option and preferable to other treatments due to its precision, safety, and efficacy. While the fat cells suctioned out of your trouble zones are gone for good, what about the fat cells left behind after SmartLipo? Here’s what you should know.
No contouring procedure can prevent future weight gain. If you consume more calories than you burn, you will add pounds – even in the areas you had treated with SmartLipo. Our patients who watch what they eat, follow a consistent workout regimen, and live an overall healthy lifestyle can enjoy their SmartLipo outcomes for decades.
How Can I Get the Best Results Possible?
After SmartLipo, you’ll want your new contours to last for several years. To do this, avoid the habit of yo-yo dieting. After successfully shedding a few pounds, many people regain the weight because they fall back into careless eating habits. That’s why it’s vital to eat a balanced diet, but nothing you can’t realistically maintain. Don’t shake things up every few months, like switching from Atkins to keto or whatever else is trending. This inconsistency may cause your body to store more fat than before.
It’s also crucial to exercise regularly. Exercise burns calories and keeps your body supple and toned during weight loss and beyond. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Reduce sugar, carbohydrates, and fats. Make sure you consume lean protein and drink plenty of water throughout the day. Failure to correct an unhealthy lifestyle will keep your weight and your outline out of balance.
